Chapter 2230 - 2233: The Stunning Movie Queen's Playful Sulk (Fifth Update)

Looking at the smiling, stunningly beautiful actress Song Weiyin beside him, and then at the equally stunning Qian Ning, who was having a squabble with Ye Guyun, Fang Xiaozhi, Song Weiyin's agent, was truly bewildered. She looked at the smiling Shen Qiang with an amazed expression, and said, "Is it decided like this? What about Miss Qian Ning's side..."

"I have no objections, Shen Qiang makes the decisions." With her face inexplicably a bit flushed, Qian Ning dared not look at Shen Qiang, but still had to say the words.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaozhi was overjoyed, and said, "Alright, alright, Mr. Shen, I can manage all the three points you mentioned."

"The additional condition is three performances by Qian Ning per year, only increasing if absolutely necessary."

Shen Qiang's words instantly stunned Fang Xiaozhi.

"That's too infrequent a public appearance."

Shen Qiang smiled, saying, "If internet live streaming and interaction with netizens are needed, you and Qian Ning can discuss it, but the terms I mentioned earlier should be decided on. Of course, if Ms. Fang finds these conditions too harsh, she can reconsider."

"No problem."

Fang Xiaozhi agreed on the spot.

To be blunt, given the current situation, if Shen Qiang doesn't limit Qian Ning's online live streaming, her popularity definitely won't be bad.

At this moment.

Shen Qiang's phone rang.

He glanced at it; it was Bianyi calling.

After a word of apology, Shen Qiang went outside to take the call.

"Oh, my dear boss, I have confirmed, you must be Wenquxing incarnate, otherwise, how could you write such brilliant songs."

"Record your flattery, and when I have time, I'll listen to it slowly," Shen Qiang raised his brow.

Bianyi laughed on the phone and then said, "The world has indeed changed, everyone waits for others to flatter them, brag, and then feel proud. People like you, who are genuinely modest and unmoved by fame and fortune, are really rare."

Shen Qiang chuckled: "Hmm, change the posture of flattery, and think I won't recognize it?"

Bianyi laughed: "It's just a joke, why take it seriously? Next, there's good news and bad news, which would you like to hear first?"

Shen Qiang sighed: "Causing trouble, encountering difficulties, afraid I'll blame you, so you first give me two servings of flattery, then some precaution, one good news, one bad news — you make such careful preparations, it looks like the trouble isn't small. Just say the bad news, don't worry, my mental endurance is much stronger than yours."

"Gong Ziyi's personnel are more numerous than we anticipated, and more troubling is that he released a message and hired some bounty hunters — the type who only announce the task after assembling. I placed two people to infiltrate, one died, and the other has sent back no information, it seems we might be blind before they act."

Hearing Bianyi's words, Shen Qiang furrowed his brow and, after a moment's silence, said: "How did that person die?"

"Not clear, so I suspect Gong Ziyi already knows our plan."

Shen Qiang furrowed his brow and, after a moment of silence, said: "No, if Gong Ziyi knew we were wary of him, he'd definitely adjust the plan, which would result in noticeable personnel movement."

"I'm afraid he'll go along with it," Bianyi said, "And even more afraid that he suddenly decides not to move, after all, we've set up an ambush from ten angles. If they don't come, all our sleepless nights would be in vain."

Shen Qiang smiled: "This is the bad news you're worried about?"

"Isn't it bad enough? We've secretly assembled personnel from Qingyun Sword Pavilion, equipped them with flying demons, designed countless traps, just waiting for them to come and die. If they don't come, all this effort would be like trying to let out an explosive fart with all our might, but instead, nothing sounds, and it shot up into our pants."

Shen Qiang laughed: "Be mindful of hygiene when you speak."

"Boss, you have a magnanimous heart, when others come with knives to stab you, you're blind and still think about hygiene? Shouldn't you be considering from what angle they'll stab you?"

Listening to Bianyi's words, Shen Qiang smiled, and calmly glanced at the sneaky, snooping entertainment website reporter, saying: "I'm too familiar with Gong Ziyi, he'll definitely stab me when I'm most complacent, so no need to guess. Check the local station's website for Qian Ning's performance times, Gong Ziyi's people will definitely act at that time."

Bianyi heard this, paused and then said: "Are you sure?"

Shen Qiang smiled: "Your enemy knows you best, trust me, the timing won't be wrong, but how he'll operate is your problem to solve. I have only one requirement: No matter how many cultivators he sends, not a single survivor can remain."

"Understood." Bianyi smiled: "You've given me good news."

Shen Qiang furrowed his brow: "What about the good news you mentioned earlier?"

Bianyi smiled: "Lady Qi Meng from Mirage sent me a list of bounty hunters who accepted Gong Ziyi's task. The bounties on their heads are quite high, the total reward amount is substantial, if successful, it's equivalent to three years' profit of a corporation."

Shen Qiang laughed: "Very good, get this done and split the bounty with the involved brothers."

Bianyi chuckled: "Thanks for the boss's reward."

"Anything else? If not, then that's it." Shen Qiang said while wanting to hang up the phone.

At this time, Bianyi's tone suddenly became urgent: "Boss, wait a moment, besides the good and bad news, the most important thing is, I called to ask you for a favor this time."

"Speak up, don't keep circling around with me." Shen Qiang was impatient.

Bianyi then spoke seriously, saying: "Gong Ziyi's people are highly professional, we know where they are but are completely unaware of their planning and actions, even unable to see their full picture, just like squatting in the bushes. We can't even ascertain if they carry weapons. So if possible, we need you to kick his ass, force him to stand up, and let us take a look."

"Anger Gong Ziyi?" Shen Qiang chuckled, thoughtfully.

Bianyi said: "Yes, if you can achieve that, our chances of winning will increase."

Shen Qiang smiled: "Okay, no problem."

Having said that.

Shen Qiang hung up the phone and returned to the restaurant, where everyone was almost done eating.

Seeing this situation, Shen Qiang immediately proposed, for tomorrow night's Star Team performance, to take Qian Ning and Song Weiyin for some harmonizing practice. Also, tomorrow night's song will differ in security from today's, requiring some preparation.

The women happily agreed.

And just when they were about to leave, Shen Qiang smilingly pulled Qian Ning closer, letting her hold his arm.

Her face flushed instantly, but she didn't refuse, feeling inexplicably at ease.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang turned towards the beautiful actress Song Weiyin on his other side, smiled, and transmitted a message: "Weiyin, I need you to act with your most perfect skill as we leave, looking at me with lover's eyes, and smile."

Instantly, Song Weiyin's face turned red, and she glanced at Shen Qiang with a coquettish scowl, saying: "I won't."
